[rt-devel] Rich Text custom fields

[Bart]

Faster then I thought, turned out to be rather easy to move content from
DokuWiki into Wikia :)
Also added an old (but still working) extension I once made:


   - http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/Rich_Text_Custom_Fields
   - http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/Extension_-_Queue_Change_On_Update


Though this reply is slightly off-topic, the discussion remains, I'm still
curious on everyones thoughts on this.
